  2. Go to MANAGE > Object Roles in the banner.
  3. Select a row and click Edit.
  4. Update Name and Definition.
  5. Use the Capabilities pick list to select capability assignments for the global role.
  6. Click OK.
Information note

You may simply double-click a cell in the sheet of capabilities vs. roles to set or unset a particular capability assignment (responsibility).

Again, if a role has any capability type Producer, then it is of type Producer, otherwise if all capabilities for that role are Consumer only, then it is of type Consumer.

Example

Sign in as Administrator and go to MANAGE > Object Roles.

Pick the Finance Content Custodian role (added earlier). Edit the Definition by adding “workflow editor” to the list of capabilities. Then add the Workflow Editing capability.

Click SAVE.
